commentary
As Korhonen lucidly details, the inscription is one of a series of late 18th century local antiquarian forgeries, constructed on the basis of existing texts, principally those to be found in the 1769 first edition of the corpus of Torremuzza. Kaibel classed the entire series already as forgeries in IG XIV.
